19/919: Inverness - Fort William

This route runs through one of the most sparsely-populated parts of the UK, but the amazing landscapes you can see from the bus make it a journey not to be missed! Buses run roughly every two hours Mon-Sat daytimes, with occasional journeys in the evenings and on Sundays. The route is operated jointly by Stagecoach and Citylink.

Stagecoach 19 run with buses and Citylink 919 run with coaches are treated as the same route for tickets, so return and day tickets bought on one are valid on the other.

There is no Dayrider ticket valid for the entire route, but the Inverness City Dayrider Zone 2 at £6.10 will get you as far as Drumnadrochit and the Zone 3 version at £11 is valid from Inverness as far as Fort Augustus.

From the other end, a Fort Dayrider at £3.40 is only valid for local journeys within Fort William as far as Torlundy.

For details of single and return tickets, look up the fare on Citylink's website or contact Stagecoach on 01463 233371.

If arriving by train, then the Plusbus add-on ticket can be used in Fort William on the 19 as far as Spean Bridge.

Welcome

Buses are the most used mode of public transport, but you wouldn't think that from the portrayal they receive in the media. As good as trains are, buses reach more places. But finding out which bus goes where and which routes are really worth using can be difficult if you don't know where to look.

This new blog will profile Britain's most useful and/or scenic bus routes, one at a time. We will cover routes in all regions. Some will be chosen for the speed with which they connect two major places. Some will be chosen for the sheer beauty of the landscapes through which they pass, landscapes which really should be enjoyed from a bus window, where you can take it all in.

For each route, we will detail where it goes and what can be done in the places it links and passes through. We will also advise which day rover tickets are valid and where else such tickets can take you on connecting services. We certainly won't be ignoring the trains, as they are often the best way to connect to some of our best bus routes.

Above all, we will be honest about what we really think about the routes we cover and we will encourage you to be by leaving comments about your experiences on that route. This blog is completely independent of any bus operator or local authority.
